More quotes by Khaled Hosseini
[Flying kite with my friends] is one of the seminal memories of growing up for me.
Khaled Hosseini
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.
Khaled Hosseini
At the time we are focusing our efforts primarily on building shelters for refugees. Homelessness in Afghanistan is a huge problem.
Khaled Hosseini
It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime.
Khaled Hosseini
The story line of my novel [The Kite Runner] is largely fictional. The characters were invented and the plot imagined.
Khaled Hosseini
By then The Kite Runner had become quite successful and I found myself in a position that I had always dreamed of my whole life, which was to write for a living.
Khaled Hosseini
it always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place.
Khaled Hosseini
I found a sad little fairy Beneath the shade of a paper tree. I know a sad little fairy Who was blown away by the wind one night.
Khaled Hosseini
On a high mountain I stood, And cried the name of Ali, Lion of God.O Ali, Lion of God, King of Men, Bring joy to our sorrowful hearts.
Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini
In Kabul, hot running water had been like fathers, a rare commodity.
Khaled Hosseini
They say, Find a purpose in your life and live it. But, sometimes, it is only after you have lived that you recognize your life had a purpose, and likely one you never had in mind.
Khaled Hosseini
Afghanistan has always been sort of a fractured nation, very tribal, where the countryside and the distant provinces have been run by custom, by tribal law and by tribal leaders rather than edicts from the central government in Kabul.
Khaled Hosseini
It's literally just been formed. It's a 501 C3, non-profit charitable foundation called, unsurprisingly, the Khalled Hosseini Foundation. The aim is to help refugees and aim vulnerable women and children.
Khaled Hosseini
So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one.
Khaled Hosseini
You don't order someone to polish your shoes one day and call them 'sister' the next.
Khaled Hosseini
They tell me I must wade into waters, where I will soon drown. Before I march in, I leave this on the shore for you. I pray you find it, sister, so you will know what was in my heart as I went under.
Khaled Hosseini
Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft.
Khaled Hosseini
Gone. Vanished. Nothing left. Nothing said.
Khaled Hosseini
James Parkinson. George Huntington. Robert Graves. John Down. Now this Lou Gehrig fellow of mine. How did men come to monopolize disease names too?
